At Alt-Wittendorf ....

Hofler, Scharfe and Fischer had missed the army muster but been enrolled as part of the town guard for Alt-Wittendorf, their job to patrol the streets and keep order.

The town square of Alt-Wittendorf ....

the local militia guard the bridge ....

Limburger tells Hofler that he has seen a group of ruffians on its way into the town ....

the ruffians enter the town square ....

Limburger reports the ruffians to the militia captain ....

Hofler and Fischer move round behind the market cross .....

Scharfe confronts the leader of the ruffians ..... while some of them steal food off the tables in front of the Red Lion ...

One of the ruffians attacks Hofler .....

Scharfe jumps up onto a bale .... Hofler has deflected the attack of the ruffian, but Fischer is wounded and fighting bravely....

a bystander shouts a warning to Scharfe who jumps off the bale to face a ruffian who has come up from behind him ....

Hofler kills one of the ruffians ...

the ruffians start to back off ..... Scharfe follows ...

the militia from the bridge guard have reached the square .....

a couple of shots from the muskets of the militia and the ruffians run back down the road, watched by Hofler and Scharfe...
